The Republicans’ war on government continues unabated in the Trump Administration. By continuing to appoint cabinet members who are both corrupt and incompetent, President Donald Trump has succeeded in undermining Americans’ faith in their government. As a result (Republicans hope) fewer people will look to government for solutions to their problems. If the government doesn’t function properly then how can it solve peoples’ problems?
The war on government started in earnest during the presidency of Ronald Reagan who famously said in his 1981 inaugural address, “Government is not the solution to the problem. Government is the problem.”
But, according to the Washington Post, “the Trump administration is taking this to a whole new level. His Cabinet and other appointees are like termites, burrowing inside the government structure, taking it apart from within, and causing foundation rot and damage as they go about their work.”

The upshot of all of this is that Trump and the Republicans in power are doing the bidding of their corporate masters who want no government regulations on their businesses, no government “social” programs, and the privatization of government activities (so they can make profits).
Many people have criticized Trump for not making the U.S. government work well. But it appears that has been his plan all along. His goal is to destroy many parts of the government, and unfortunately with respect to attaining that pernicious goal he has been extremely successful so far.
For the good of the country, and to save our government, we need to get Trump and his horrible cabinet members out of office as soon as possible.
